Mine is the Freeways Live version of "I Like." > Anybody else? Hard to choose!!!! I'd say "I Got The Message", "I Like", "Security", "Eurotheme", "Where Do The Boys Go", "Safety Dance in the 21st Century", I love the demo for "Living In China" and "The Rhythm of Youth". I also like "Moonbeam", "Walk On Water", and "SOS". Of course there are a lot of others like "The Safety Dance", "Antarctica", and yes, the live version of "I Like" rocks big time! For Ivan songs, I like "Open Your Eyes", "1972", and the beginning to "Superbadgirls". Maybe "Walk On Water" is about the group's popularity and possible pressure to impress and conform to everyone. Maybe it has something to do with record contracts. It might tie in with "Messiahs Die Young" where I think it's about Ivan not wanting to be a huge pop star, all he wants is to have fun making music. How about your least favourite song? One track which stands out is "Messiahs Die Young". It never appealed to me. It is rather dull and it got on my nerves after two listens. That's it! The rest are good. Even the ones on 21st Century! :D =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Clip n' save! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Spasticks!

If I remember correctly, Ivan by his own admission has many times stated that "Walk on Water" was an insight to what the band was going through leading up to,during, and after the "Safety Dance" period, ie: the unexpected *and ill- prepared for* meteoric rise to fame, the perks, the unrealistic expectations *by the media, public, management and band alike*, the pedestals, the eventual backlash, the blah, blah blah...*SNII-I-II-P!* And I was also wondering what your favorite song is...on any of the MWH or Ivan CD's.

Each one means so much in a different way, but if I had to pick just one, I would have to say that Folk of the 80's is a great tune, and by far, one of the best. As for worst tune, I would have to say that saying a MWH tune is bad... is sac-religious. Agreed?

Since some new people joined the list recently (or a few weeks ago) and this list has been quiet unfortunately, I thought it would be nice to re-introduce ourselves. So here I go.... My name is Daniele Rossi and I live in Toronto, Canada. I'm 24 years old and I'm currently looking for work in website design. I've been a Men Without Hats fan since I was 9 and heard "The Safety Dance" on the radio. I became frantic to buy their album," Rhythm of Youth" when I heard "I Got The Message" on the radio and WHAT A GREAT ALBUM! It's one of my top 5 favourite albums of all time. I tend to like their early work more, but that isn't to say I hate the later stuff. I was SHOCKED when I heard "Sideways" (my first time was when I saw the video) because Men Without Hats to me meant electronic music. But the song is good. I've never seen any of their concerts but thanks to the fan videos, I can say I "did" :) I know it's a bit late to say this but, "welcome to the list!" =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Clip n' save! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Spasticks!

I am a contract issue service technician (WHAT!?), which means that I issue annuity contracts for Nationwide Insurance. I began listening to MWH after hearing Pop Goes the World on MTV in '88. I liked it better than Safety Dance, so I went out and bought the album. Later I got the used LPs of Rhythm of Youth and Folk III, and wished that the "other" songs were played on the radio instead of "safety dance". Then I would have liked the band in the beginning. Don't worry, I like safety dance now. I am one of the few listmembers that really digs "The Spell" too. Its actually one of my favorites. My least favorite album is = "Sideways" next....

I guess we're re-intro-ing, so I won't miss this time around. My name is Nicholas Pinto, and I live in Stratford, CT USA. I first heard the ROY record when I was about 1, maybe 2. I last heard it when I was 3 and I heard Safety Dance occasionally until I was about 10. I pulled some of my parents records out and listened. After that was over I didn't do it again until I was about 14. I rembered that I liked "Antarctica", so I put it on. In those 5 years, my musical taste soared ;) and I really liked the entire album. I'm 17 now and a giant MWH Fan. My favorite songs (as of right this minute) are the extended version of Ban The Game from the 1985 concert and the jazz/rock? version of Modern(e) Dancing from the 1983 concert.

Since we all are reintroducing ourselves, I thought I would join in. My name is Nathan Shireman, and I have been a hats fan ever since I picked up ROY at a garage sale, when I was in the sixth grade. Since that time, I thought only two other albums existed, PGTW and 21st Century, but was I ever suprised to hear from a friend a few years later that there was so much more from IVAN and Co. Well, to say the least, I've hunted down almost everything I can from MWH, and I love it all. Even the Spell is a groovie disc! I am an audiovisual sales director in my regular life, and in my life away from my life I am a musician, currently working on a techo/industrial project known as Walling For Dead Folk. I operate out of Columbus, Ohio and I have a digital home recording studio on the side. Of course, MWH is always blaring through my living room and studio....

I'd love to hear more versions of "Heaven" also as Steve mentioned. For a band that used lots of electronics and synth, I was impressed by how well they performed live. Are there any bootlegs of concerts for PGtW, 21st C or Sideways? PS I was just in Toronto last weekend and everyone was sold out of "The Spell" (good for Ivan, bad for me :) ) Could someone give the 1-800 number for HMV orders again? Thanks! hatlessly, C.

I grew up in Los Angeles but did not think much of that one hit wonder until 1985 when I had a missionary companion in Brazil who had a copy of ROY and Folk III. I listened a few times and decided to investigate further when I got home in 1986. Pop Goes the World came out then which I didn't like initially but naturally, it became my favorite. I was unimpressed with In the 21st Century but I thought Sideways was pretty good for a hard rock CD. I haven't listened to the Spell because I noticed the lyrics contain some profanity, which I don't voluntarily listen to (I also don't see R-rated movies). I am currently a 33 year old dentist living in Sacramento with 6 kids. I was hoping to see MWH in concert this summer but I guess that won't happen soon. Maybe we should just get a life-size cut-out of Ivan and have a simulated virtual concert.... My favorite songs by MWH include: O Sole Mio, I Like, Ideas For Walls, The Real World and Walk on Water. Their worst song is without question: 21st Century Safety Dance. The things I like best about this list are stickers, shirt and CD distributors. The Video was also fantastic. Here's a question to think about.... If MWH produced a CD similar to ROY today, do you think it would be successful (ie. would it hit the top 40 stations in the U.S., Britain and Canada) or would it be a flop?

I have not posted a message on the board in quite awhile. I will be redoing the site somewhat this week as soon as I get the CDs that Tom Norman already sent in the mail. I know there were a few broken links and whatnot and I will be fixing everything along with posting some of the new material that is not on there yet. I also plan on putting more MWH videos on later after I get all the CDs put up there in MP3 format. I was also thinking of making a MWH screen saver. Latley I have been getting into the screen saver bussiness and have been making some (check out my web page at www.holdman.com/screensavers - not quite done yet though). I was thinking of maybe making a MWH screen saver with pictures of the Album Covers of their records. Anyway let me know what you think. The screen saver will also allow you to have sound in it (which you can turn on and off). You can have either MIDI files for WAV files. I can supply the WAV files but I was wondering if anybody out there has any MIDI files of MWH songs. -Rich # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info hats" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email hats@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Men Without Hats discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?hats ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Richard Holdman" Subject: (hats) re-intro Date: 11 Aug 1998 08:24:35 -0600 My Name is Richard Holdman I drive a 64 VW Bus (www.holdman.com/richard) -Richard # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info hats" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email hats@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Men Without Hats discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?hats ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Tom Norman" Subject: Re: (hats) Bootleg CDs and Website Date: 11 Aug 1998 11:21:41 -0400 I will be redoing the site somewhat this week as soon as I get the CDs that Tom Norman already sent in the mail.

I won't stand back with a re-introduction of myself. My name is DAVE (no, not really... that's only my nickname since about ten years. But I LIKE it much more than my real Name which is INGO (I think so !?). I live in HAMELN / GERMANY, that's roundabout 50 km (that might be app. 33 miles) away from HANNOVER (perhaps you know that city). I live here in a 2room flat with my 2 cats, my computer and my MWH music. My profession is... I think you call it a postman (the one who brings the letters and packages). I'm 25 Years old and became a MWHolic in 1983 when i first heard "Rhythm Of Youth" from my brothers' (he is 9 years older) turntable. It really knocked me off my socks. In 1984 I got "FOE III" and "PGTW" in 1987, which i lost under mysterios circumstances in 1989. Now i wanted to buy it again, but it seemed to be impossible to get it once again in germany. So I gave it up. And now (please don't laugh) i got it over the internet at a german (!) cd-store nearly 10 years ago... And here i found the albums "In The 21st Century", "Sideways", "The Collection" and "The Very Best OF". I never knew about their existence.

He soon purchased Folk Of The Eighties Part 3 on cassette.........then he went on to buy Pop Goes The World and Folk Of The Eighties Part 3 on cassette, but this one had a different cover. At that same store he found Rhythm Of Youth on vinyl for $1.99 in a pile of old records.....we went back to my house and instantly fell in love with the entire album (espescially Things In My Life)...............a couple days later we went back and he bought ROY on cassette........ Then we went on the net and found out about The Spell.........Max and I went downtown and he bought The Spell and Sideways on CD.........then shortly after he bought Pop Goes The World and Collection on CD as well. He also sent money to a place over the net and recieved Living In China 12" single.............also he imported The Safety Dance UK Remix single on CD from HMV....... Just last week Max invited me to go to Winnipeg Manitoba with him, and there he found The Safety Dance shaped picture disc vinyl single, the Bio-Dome soundtrack (which I'm sure you all know what's on it), and Ivan - The Spell on tape....... .....so you can see that Max is quite a big fan.......I like all their songs, but he's a much bigger fan than me, and I thank him for introducing me to them......... ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info hats" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email hats@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Men Without Hats discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?hats ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "thanatos.doc" Subject: (hats) not a re:introduction Date: 14 Aug 1998 06:38:35 -0500 > My name is Wes Gabbard.

I might go to Montreal this weekend (Aug 29) and I want to ask all the Montrealers on this list where me and my friends should go. Which clubs are good (we're 24 years old)? Which tourist attractions are definitley not to be missed? Where do all the pretty girls go? ;) Can you suggest any Italian or hey, since we're in Montreal--Quebecoise cuisine-- restaurants (cheap if any )? Suggested hotels? Where in the city should we book a hotel? We'll be renting a car. I prefer the train but we're renting anyway. Any chance we can do a MWH tour? ;) Merci!

I got back from a weekned trip to Montreal and I'd liek to post a little review of the hatless city if I may. If you don't care to read this, hit "delete" now :) when compared with Toronto, I was always told Montreal was better and Toronto was a cold concrete city. I was always a little offended with this but now that I've been to Montreal---IT'S SO TRUE! Toronto is a nice city but Montreal is nicer (more trees) and more european. And more festive. Oh and the girls......;) Anyway, unfortunatley, I wasn't able to meet any list members nor do a proper MWH tour of Montreal but I did go to see the Olympic stadium where the "Where Do The Boys Go?" video was filmed. I saw a guy in a car next to mine on the street who resembled Ivan. HMV on Rue St. Catherine was a disappointment but that's nothing big anyway :) Except I was surprised to find a CD by Jeremie Arrobas! For those who don't know, he used tob e with MWH in the early early early days an dwrote some of their songs. The CD is called "Le grand manege". When I saw it I thought "COOL! A little glimpse in the MWH world". I wondered if I should buy it seeing I have no idea what kind of music it was. On the cd he waslisted as playing the synthesizer so I assumed it would be techno or something similar. After hearing the "Rhythm of Youth" demo and the "Freeways" ep why not? Besides, it costed $7. However, to my dismay, it wasn't what I expected. A good album but not my taste in music. Not techno, not electronic, more like the top 40 they play at sports bars (kind of like country rock with emphasis on rock). If anyone's interested, I can sell it to them for $10 Cdn (the extra $3 goes to postage). Which is a bargain these days since the Canadian dollar keeps dropping like a brick. I totally recommend Montreal for vacation. I'm definitley going back often and also for the Just For Laughs festival.
